[QUOTE="Tesla, post: 643402, member: 88010"] Yes, I'm sure it will be an adverture getting it running :D . I too don't install Catalyst unless I have to ... to keep things lean. Especially on these old P4/XP systems, with the .net Runtime and all, these old systems take a hit loading all that stuff. As I recall, I had to load Catalyst with the x800 to get the widescreen HDTV resolutions. I will try what you said. As long as I can get 16:9 1080P over 15pin VGA port (to 1080P plasma) I will just run with that (and run audio via Audigy2-ZS Platinum optical SPDIF). He only needs 5.1 for DVD video_ts folders. If he ever buys a proper HDMI amp ( I suggested the Onkyo 608) and I can convince him to make it the main controller, I will venture into getting audio/video over HDMI (but not looking forward to it). I figure I will ... (Rage 128 is currently installed ... After getting into Windows, Catalyst says there is a problem (duh :D ) Acronis Image system. Uninstall old drivers (everything ATI including Catalyst). Reboot if asked to. Run Driver Sweeper. Shut down and swap cards. Let Windows (or Windows Update) load the Microsoft driver for the HD-3450 See what resolutions I have to use, and see if it will work on my plasma/amp as a test. I wonder if the ATI-DVD Decoder (rebranded CyberLink codec) is going to work? That's what I was using on these ATI 9600 and x800 systems. Like I said ... an adventure :) [/QUOTE]
